The Art of Teaching Science
Description:
The Art of Teaching Science emphasizes a humanistic, experiential, and constructivist approach to teaching and learning, and integrates a wide variety of pedagogical tools. Becoming a science teacher is a creative process, and this innovative textbook encourages students to construct ideas about science teaching through their interactions with peers, mentors, and instructors, and through hands-on, minds-on activities designed to foster a collaborative, thoughtful learning environment.
This second edition retains key features such as inquiry-based activities and case studies throughout, while simultaneously adding new material on the impact of standardized testing on inquiry-based science, and explicit links to science teaching standards. Also included are expanded resources like a comprehensive website, a streamlined format and updated content, making the experiential tools in the book even more useful for both pre- and in-service science teachers.
Special Features:
- Each chapter is organized into two sections: one that focuses on content and theme; and one that contains a variety of strategies for extending chapter concepts outside the classroom
- Case studies open each chapter to highlight real-world scenarios and to connect theory to teaching practice
- Contains 33 Inquiry Activities that provide opportunities to explore the dimensions of science teaching and increase professional expertise
- Problems and Extensions, On the Web Resources and Readings guide students to further critical investigation of important concepts and topics.
